organ on a chip

The latest group of winning technologies has a little something for everyone—from scientists at the lab bench to those in the clinic and even the classroom.

Harnessing the capabilities of the PhysioMimix Multi-organ System, the kit enhances lead optimization and preclinical testing pipelines, providing an all-in-one solution to generate predictive insights into human oral bioavailability, and better inform lead candidate selection.

Constructed using low-drug-absorbing plastics, Chip-R1 builds upon the core microfluidic design of Organ-Chips, offering researchers greater precision in predicting human drug responses. 

A new microfluidics cell culture model recapitulates the basic biology of gut touch.

3D cell culture techniques closely mimic in vivo conditions, generating more accurate data for disease modeling and drug toxicity testing.

Scientists turn to technologies that uplift organoid research, from the first intestinal organoids to the future of scaled-up screening.

There is only one week remaining to submit your new product to vie for a coveted spot in The Scientist’s 2022 competition.

Researchers are going beyond fecal samples to understand how the patterns of commensal microbes in the gastrointestinal tract influence development and health.

Organ chips are physiologically relevant models for drug toxicity testing.

Scientists engineered a lung-on-a-chip model from patient cells that mimics cystic fibrosis.

Don Ingber discusses how organ-on-a-chip technology helps identify, study, and combat viral variants that could cause the next pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.

Lucie Low, a project leader for Tissue Chips in Space, describes the experiments that are slated to blast off later this week.

A new device from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University simulates the effects of cigarette smoke on human lungs.

This device models the female reproductive tract and might lead scientists to a greater understanding of fibroids, cancer, and infertility.

Scientists hope that these devices will one day replace animal models of disease and help advance personalized medicine.
